The present disclosure is directed to mobile correctional facility robots and systems and methods for coordinating mobile correctional facility robots to perform various tasks in a correctional facility. The mobile correctional facility robots can be used to perform many of the tasks traditionally assigned to correctional facility guards to help reduce the number of guards needed in any given correctional facility. When cooperation is employed among multiple mobile correctional facility robots to execute tasks, a central controller can be used to coordinate the efforts of the multiple robots to improve the performance of the overall system of robots as compared to the performance of the robots when working in uncoordinated effort to execute the tasks.

A remotely controlled packable robot includes a chassis with a top surface and a bottom surface, a motive subsystem for maneuvering the chassis, an open channel under the robot defined by the chassis and the motive subsystem, a camera assembly, and a robot arm including a rotatable shoulder, an upper arm pivotable with respect to the shoulder, a forearm, an elbow between the upper arm and the forearm, a wrist connected to the forearm, and a gripper attached to the wrist. A rearward arm base member mount between the chassis and the rotatable arm shoulder is pivotable with respect to the chassis to store the arm underneath the robot in the open channel. A forward camera assembly base member mount for the camera is pivotable with respect to the chassis to store the camera assembly underneath the robot in the open channel. Another camera mount is for retaining the camera assembly on the shoulder of the robot arm. A novel power distribution subsystem is also disclosed.

The present teachings relate generally to a small remote vehicle having rotatable flippers and a weight of less than about 10 pounds and that can climb a conventional-sized stairs. The present teachings also relate to a small remote vehicle can be thrown or dropped fifteen feet onto a hard/inelastic surface without incurring structural damage that may impede its mission. The present teachings further relate to a small remote vehicle having a weight of less than about 10 pounds and a power source supporting missions of at least 6 hours.

An armor plate includes am armor shell and a plate body mounted to the armor shell. The plate body includes a display screen and a resistive screen configured to detect a position of a shot point. The display screen is disposed between the resistive screen and the armor shell and is configured to display the shot point corresponding to the position.

A two-wheel balancing vehicle includes a chassis including one or more mounting interfaces configured to detachably mount one or more fighting modules for robotic competition. The two-wheel balancing vehicle also includes two wheel assemblies respectively mounted at a left side and a right side of the chassis. Each of the two wheel assemblies includes a wheel and a driving motor drivingly connected with the wheel and mounted to the chassis. The two-wheel balancing vehicle also includes an inertial measurement unit. The two-wheel balancing vehicle further includes a control system communicatively connected with the inertial measurement unit and the driving motor, the control system configured to receive sensing signals provided by the inertial measurement unit and to control a balancing state of the two-wheel balancing vehicle. The inertial measurement unit and the control system are mounted to the chassis.

A two wheeled throwable robot comprises an elongate chassis with two ends, a motor at each end, drive wheels connected to the motors, and a tail extending from the elongate chassis. The throwable robot includes a pair of torque limiting mechanisms, each torque limiting mechanism being operatively coupled between a motor and a drive wheel. Each torque limiting mechanism comprises a drive flange portion, a driven flange portion and a plurality of rollers. A spring element provides a ring force that biases the rollers toward the driven flange portion.

A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.

A modular military vehicle and a method for using a modular military vehicle is disclosed. The modular military vehicle can comprise a vehicle hull; a crew module removably mounted to the vehicle hull; a plurality of wheels mounted to the vehicle hull, the plurality of wheels comprising at least one driven wheel; and an electric drive system configured to drive the at least one driven wheel.

A two wheeled robot with a pair of motorized wheels mounted on each end of a body and a rearwardly extending tail. The body comprising a chassis with sides and exterior side surfaces and providing an accessory mounting interface. The interface having a matrixical arrangement of threaded holes and one or more landings, the landings having an outwardly facing planar landing surface with hole openings at the landing surface. An accessory with a robot mounting interface cooperates with the chassis at the accessory mounting interface such that prior to fastening the accessory has a single degree of freedom of movement. Screws extend through portions of the accessory into select ones of the threaded holes of the matrixical arrangement.

The exemplary arrangement relates to a target comprising at least one dummy depicting at least one part of the human body. According to the exemplary arrangement it is provided, that the dummy depicting at least one part of the human body comprises a plurality of sensors, which communicate with a sensor data evaluating apparatus (140) for the registration of the sensors. The sensor data evaluating apparatus determines, by mathematical correlation of points in time (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t.sub.3) corresponding to points of maximum pressure (Pmax.sub.1, Pmax.sub.2, Pmax.sub.3) from sensor data of the plurality of sensors the point of entry ({right arrow over (T)}) and preferentially the trajectory of a projectile penetrating the dummy.
